The most talked about film of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival finally makes it to theaters this week, ( With a limited release in the US pencilled in for 2nd May 2008 ), and thank god, because this joyous, ridiculously heart - warming comedy deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.. It’s heartwarming without any treacle, it’s hilarious without resorting to cheap gags, and it’s genuine.. Son of Rambow will quickly become a favorite movie of any dork ( Like myself ) who dreamed big as a kid and used movie making as an outlet..

The recent spate of spoof / parody movies have been financially profitable for the studios and producers behind them, but, quality wise, they haven’t exactly been, well, good.. Or even all that funny.. The days of Airplane! and The Naked Gun and “Hot Shots! are long gone.. Instead, the movie world is given Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, The Comebacks, among others.. The Scary Movie franchise, helmed by the great Keenan Ivory Wayans twice, then by the equally great ( not to mention legendary ) David Zucker twice, has been the only one worth watching ( sure, they’re not classics, but they hit more than they miss ).. Superhero Movie, produced by Zucker and written and directed by Craig Mazin, falls into the Scary Movie category in that it’s not great, or all that good, but watchable..
